New Low Income Countries Scholarships by DAAD and HSW, Germany

Scholarship
for International Students from Low Income Countries

For the second time,
the Hochschulwerk of Witten/Herdecke University, in cooperation with the German
Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), offers a scholarship for international
Witten/Herdecke students from lower income countries.This funding forms a
program of non-repayable support to help to ensure that a Witten degree is
accessible to all academically talented international students regardless of
family income. As tuition fees can be paid after the completion of the studies
in dependence on the personal income (inverse contract between student
generations), this award is intended to help with living expenses only.The scholarship
comprises a monthly grant of €700,- for 12 months with the option of extension
for another 12 months. It is not
intended for PhD students. It is not
possible to study correspondence courses at the UWH. Eligible are Witten/Herdecke
